Quick Tip: This granola is so tasty that it’s easy to end up eating more of it than you intend. To stick with your perfect portion, use a ¼-cup scoop to divide the granola into individual ziplock bags right after it cools. Grab a single portion for your bedtime snack! It tastes great with sliced bananas too.
